Noosa Sunshine Coast Holidays

Noosa really is a classy act with a host of international festivals for music, food and film and a distinctly international visitor list. Much of the action takes place on Hastings Street which is the area has the best access to the national park with it's wonderful bays and beaches.

Beaches at Noosa

Along Hastings Street dining, shopping, and socializing provides for an excellent family or couples holiday destination.

Netanya Noosa Beach Resort

While not the most expensive resort in Noosa, this resort has the advantage that you can skip out to the white sandy beach from your room and the pool. Something that some of its more pricey rivals don't offer. And with less than 40 rooms you are sure to find a nice place by the pool.

One great advantage of the Hastings Street strip is that wherever you stay you have access to all the restaurants and resort activities the local area has to offer including the national park

Caloundra Resorts and Holidays

Caloundra is not really the hub of excessive accommodation options on the Sunshine Coast but is a restful beautiful place none the less. It is a great choice if you are looking to get away from it all and relax. This is especially true for families who especially enjoy this location.

With Australia Zoo, Aussie World, and the Big Kart Track within easy reach. There is also a great kids splash playground at Kings Beach.

Somehow it has managed to maintain a local flavour in an otherwise developing resort area. A good place to spend a family vacation and this is one of the top resorts there.

twin waters resorts

Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort, formerly known as Twin Waters Resort

This is one of the largest and most complete 4-star beachfront resorts on the Sunshine Coast. The former name Twin Waters was derived because of the setting between ocean and river. The resort has enjoyed numerous upgrades like an old Queenslander over the years and was most recently upgraded in 2019 with a new lobby and restaurants. It is a pretty big place with bungalows, and also a choice for larger functions and weddings.

Sunshine beach resorts

Sunshine Beach on the Sunshine Coast

The stunning location of Sunshine Coast around the corner from Noosa is not at all known for its resorts, but there are some great apartments.

La Mer Sunshine Beachfront looks out over beautiful Sunshine Beach. Rooms have a private balcony and there are nice features like a heated swimming pool, free in-room Wi-Fi and a poolside BBQ area which do provide somewhat of a beach resort vibe and there is a tour desk

Sunshine Coast Airport is 30 km away.

Palmer Coolum Resort - This Resort Is Now In A State Of Disrepair - You Can't Even Stay Here

I actually used to work at this resort. It's well known for it's miles of bicycle paths and immaculate grounds. This is one of the best resort beaches you will find on the Sunshine Coast but the beach is on the other side of the golf course. You will need a bicycle, good shoes or the shuttle to get there.

Palmer Coolum Resort

One good and bad thing is that the resort has everything and you get what you pay for. So expect to pay five star prices for the top quality service. Guests like how the rooms are separated from each other villa style.
